Nice!! Forgotten Waters is so much fun! 😊 And actually so funny as well! Love hearing about everyones story with the mad libs. 😂 I wish you were closer too! That would be so much fun! I now want both Res & Fort of course. They are both great!

The cat at 37:08 is soooooooooooooo cute!! Mine don't stay put, they like to attack the meeples or roll the dice themselves. But they do enjoy a cardboard box, that's for sure!

That is my friends cat named Stanley! He is such a good boy and makes me want to get a cat even though I'm allergic. 😂🐱

I finally finished this video and was definitely doing laundry/ cleaning while “listening to you yap about board games” 😂what a great month of gaming for you! So cool that you’ve been getting so many awesome games under your belt.

HAHA! Thanks for watching Reggie! So glad I could keep you company while you got some laundry done. 😂👏🏻 And yes! So thankful I found some more board game friends to experience games with. 💕

Great month for you, congrats on another record month 👏 😀 Very jealous of Forgotton Waters we have been wanting to play that one since we first heard about it. Here's to another great month of gaming for May!

Loved the video, Jenna, don't worry about it being too long! It was full of interesting reactions to what you're playing. It's wonderful to hear a different perspective on titles. And I can only say: play more Oink games for sure! :) -Dylan (from Quality Beast)

@TheBoardGameGarden Жыл бұрын

Dylan! Thank you so much for the comment! Hope you are doing well! 😊 Thank you for reassuring me. I'm always so worried I just yap for too long and people will be board of me. LOL! And will do! Really enjoyed the three I have played so far! Scout, Order Overload Cafe and Deep Sea Adventure. 👍🏻 Lots of fun!

One of my favorite uploads of the month (along with "solo games")! I love your recommendations, thank you! I got several of my favorite from this channel :) One observation: I think I hear you say in almost every video "I usually don't like area control mechanics, but this one I liked." You might be warming up to the mechanic! 😂 I had 50 plays in April, but 42 of those were the same five games! Lord of the Rings LCG (13), Marvel Champions LCG (6), Too Many Bones (5) solo, then Aeon's End (10) and Astro Knights (8) with my wife :) Others were Mansions of Madness (3) and one each of: Chronicles of Crime, Roll Player, 7 Wonders Duel, Dungeons, Dice & Danger and Welcome To. Would love to try seize the bean, though. I keep checking to see if it's available

@TheBoardGameGarden Жыл бұрын

AWH! I am so glad you enjoy these videos Vayu! They are some of my favourites to film too! Love looking back at all the games I played each month. 😊 AND YES! I am starting to think I might be warming up to area control/majority for sure. I've been trying to be open to trying more games that I normally wouldn't and I think that is really paying off. It's allowing me to experience some great games and I'm so happy about it. 😊👏🏻 Sounds like you had a great month of games!

I’ve only played Merchant’s Cove once and played as the Blacksmith, but I had a lot of fun. And I’m with you in playing solo to kind of research different players.

Francis said he really enjoyed the Blacksmith so I'm excited to try that one soon! 😊

April was also my best gaming month. Finally got to play Scout again after a year in the month of April. I feel you on buying a game over $100. I just can't bring myself to do it. I always say I can get 2-3 games with that, or 5 if I go for $20 games. I really want to try Seize the Bean.

I think I could watch a whole video at high speed, made me laugh more than it should. What are your top BGA games? My favorites are Tigris & Euphrates and Tapestry, but I find its hard to get people into that game regularly. Lately I have had matches of Castles of Burgundy and Lost Ruins of Arnak running endlessly. Earth, It's a Wonderful World, Race for the Galaxy, and Architects of the West Kingdom are all starting to make it into the rotation.

@TheBoardGameGarden Жыл бұрын

HAHA! Good question! I love TCOB, Lost Ruins Of Arnak, Tapestry, The Isle Of Cats, Obsession, Wingspan, 7 Wonders, and so many more! I'm obsessed. 😊 Would love to play some games anytime! My username on BGA is Jenna Beasley. 👍🏻

What is the choo choo train addition for Fuji Flush?!?! I need to try it. -chad

@TheBoardGameGarden Жыл бұрын

In Fuji Flush when you start a train of 2's (or honestly any number lol) you chant "TWO CHOO TRAIN!" or "THREE CHOO TRAIN!", etc. It's chaotic but soo much fun. 😂👏🏻 You should definitely try it Chad.

Wish I could get my Vindication played more :( I wouldn't pay over $%100 for Revive, but so glad I was able to get my copy in the US for $58.

Jenna, I have to say that since watching your channel I have bought a lot of games! lol. way too many. I was telling you on your live stream the other day about the games i have been buying and some that I have played so far! I'm diving in the deep end! thank you. Wingspan, rolling realms, hadrians wall, welcome to, viticulture, sagrada, cartographers, roll player with monsters and minions, floor plan, motor city, three sisters, ark nova, cascadia, just to name a few! I have a lot of games to play.

I think the MSRP for Revive is lower than 100$ but it's between printings. I managed to find it at a local store for $80usd

Unfortunately in Canada it is about $110. 🥺

Roll Player is my favorite game especially with the M&M expansion. It added exactly what I felt was missing from the base game. F&F is good too but doesn't have as big of an impact on the game as a whole. Have you thought about playing Roll Player Adventures? Creating a character in Roll Player and bringing them into Adventures is so cool!

@TheBoardGameGarden Жыл бұрын

YES! It really makes the game feel amazing! Thanks for letting me know about F&F! I haven't tried Roll Player Adventures but REALLY want to! It looks fantastic! 😊
